I have been hassled for weeks about the change and how I should do it now. You can't just opt out, it bugs you every single time you log in even if 30 times a day. I've owned webspace for over a decade and can put anything on it I want, but I can't get the convenience of pre-designated HTML and BB code tags, especially for bulk uploads. That's the ONLY reason Photobucket was useful is the ability to pick 0 to infinite amounts of images and check the boxes for them then get any image tag you wish for every single one.
With the new design you can't.... conveniently...... well... anything.

I don't know how to winterize a scooter any better than you would do anything else with an engine, but I know some things you THINK would be ok like draining the fuel line can become a bad deal if the fuel still remains in trace amounts as it will turn bad and tarnish everything it touches. What I was looking into was a fuel system flush that was comprised of fuel stabilizer. I don't think the fuel stabilizer can actually change it's composition, hence it's usefulness as a long term stabilizer. If that is the case it would seem that a full and thorough flush would make your fuel system completely stabile for how ever long you need. If that is the case you wouldn't even need to do any maintenance the next time you use it other than a quick drain of the system and fill with fresh fuel. The oil has been in the ground for a million years, it isn't going to go bad. That's it, toss a new battery in and you're good to go.

No way Jose. It's all about the ride. I didn't buy a bike to go sailing through the wind in a cocoon. As has been proven, It'll heal. On another note today both my rides hit milestone moments within 5 minutes of each other. I knew the bike was hitting 5k so I rode it around the block, but when I got on Scootie today I was surprised to see it was rolling 3500.    |

Your HD isn't going to lose anything sitting still if you can keep the computer from being touched while you do your two year stent.  |

thanks it's been fun building it back and during the process i was able to make some improvement like making custom cut gaskets from fiber cellulose for the entire engine since i used diesel oil and it ate the Chinese blue paper gaskets within 2000 miles. now they are impenetrable so the engine is stronger.

I'm healed up as well, except discoloration scarring that resembles being a burn victim. Looks like in the next two weeks or so the weather will permit it being time to ride again. I can't wait. I bundled up a couple weeks ago and went out for a ride looking like the michelin man. ;D I don't believe in windshields and flares, I like my 2 wheel experience to be pure so it's good and damn cold running a naked bike in January/February. I got my fill in that 2 hours after being housed up healing and building the bike all winter and I can't wait for the weather to change!
